As Sailfish X for Xperia 10II finally released, if you hadn't acquired device on the off chance before may have to get a SIM-locked variant. Whilst upon earlier Sony devices especially o2 in UK you were "stuffed", with advent of S1 network unlock tool I have satisfactorily managed "Bootloader Unlocked = YES upon Xperia X, XZ3 and now Xperia 10II; although latter requires input of bootloader code displayed in qUnlock tool NOT that obtained from Sony themselves.
Code:
iMac:Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.1.0.23-xqau51-0.0.1.43 adrian$ adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
iMac:Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.1.0.23-xqau51-0.0.1.43 adrian$ sudo fastboot oem unlock 0x1234567890ABCDEF
Password:
                                                   OKAY [  1.554s]
Finished. Total time: 1.564s
iMac:Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.1.0.23-xqau51-0.0.1.43 adrian$
Have to say had most difficulty in getting Xperia 10II into Bootloader mode and had to use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
to succeed.

Weren't they supposed to have done away with network locking?


Edit:
To answer my own question, in the UK the practice is to end in December 2021, but according to this [1] article O2 already only sell unlocked handsets

Thanks for the heads-up, Xperia 10II in post was from Vodafone UK, so presumably no SIM lock will apply to newer devices going forward. However whether network devices have "Bootloader unlock allowed" may be a different matter.
